Highfox

Hi. I have had a BG500 2x10 for a few years now... There is a thread on here if you search! Mines been fine, a few of the memory buttons have popped out but that's all that's gone wrong. It's pretty loud. Imo the speakers let it down a bit, it sounds good through the DI and headphone socket and when not pushed it has a fair bit of punch and tightness, but once you start to push the amp the 210's start to lose some focus and that's really why I use something else nowadays. I still use it at home as a practice amp and standby should I need it. The 115 might be a bit different. All in all not bad for a budget amp.. depends what your looking for. I wouldn't sell mine, it' one of the best headphone/mp3 amps I have played through.

Very noisy active circuit on the one I tried, much prefer my passive USA jazz.

Nice one. I've had it's bigger brother the TH500 for a couple of weeks now. Used it with a couple of different cabs, GB Neox 212t and a also a couple of EBS CL112's and it's sounded great with both. I'd say it's pretty neutral sounding, you can beef-up the Highs lows and mids the same as with the TH pedal.. The drive is there if you want it to start to break up or sound a bit more tubey/overdriven.

That must be awesome. Love where you have the master volume knob set to on the TH

Nice choice. They'd be mad to.. I have the TH500, but now really need some DB' 12's to go with it. Edit, you might be better off posting this in the items wanted section.

After that bum note thread about Propaganda's Duel, I had to have a go http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=am1xcjRZnMs I'm close but no biscuit. Playing along to the Talkingheads again, enjoy that.

We have permanent unshared rooms for our rehearsals, so our Pa and gear stays there till we gig. The only problem is I'm in 2 bands, so have to have a separate rig at each place,

I think we all nick bit's and pieces from the music we hear around us. It's very hard and requires a fair bit of talent to be totally original. Having an idol or an influence to look upto is not at all bad in my book, take what you can from them and make it your own. Playing music is wonderful and an ever learning path to the soul ...

I liked/like them a lot. I was lucky enough to see them at the Odeon in Hammersmith back in 79. I thought Sting turned into an even more pretentious git at some point, but after reading his biography (recommend it) I kind of understood a bit more about him and why he comes off so snobby and full of himself.

Bendy thumb! Maybe it is the secret weapon Made me feel a bit ill tbh. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwdH9D0p6w4

New amp day for me.. Out went the Streamliner (nothing really wrong with it, just fancied a change) and in comes the TH500. Just testing it at home with an EBS single 12 until I get it to rehearsal tomorrow and pair it with my GB Neox 212, that's until I can find me some DB 112's. Lot's of Aggie love here, having just picked up the Tone Hammer pedal to use on my other amp or when I have to use another backline.

That's fair enough Brens.. I never engaged the LF/ Boost on the Shuttle and on the Streamliner I had the bass cut to about 10pm. Good luck with your search, knowing how you want it to sound is half the battle fought imo.

I'd say try another 112 as well. It really makes a lot of difference hooking up 2.

I have the AntiquityII's in my P and love em, nice woody sound, nice highs and lots of low's as you roll the tone.

I'll have to get me another one at some point, after letting the last one go.

Bought an Aguilar Tone Hammer off Lozz. Got it off to me quickly, Safely wrapped and as always good for his word. Top Basschatter. Thanks.

I found this, he makes it look easy as always. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37oAYqDE7n4

I've always liked that tune.. hadn't heard it in ages. The studio version is really nice. Sounds like he had a bit of trouble with the triplets here and there, I think I'd do a lot worse job of it lol. It's live cut the guy some slack and he seems to be getting into it a bit and not just standing there with his eyes glued to the fretboard,

I've only ever owned one Mexican Fender, a Jazz that I bought untried It was a mid 80's job and a dog... I swapped in some USA pups which didn't really help.. seemed to have no resonance and most of the strings buzzed or rattled no matter how high the action was. I know there are some good Mexican models like the Roadworns, Geddys and Classic series, but mine was a real pos. I'd definitely need to try one before I'd buy Mexican again. I guess the guy that sold me it knew it was crap and kind of my fault as I couldn't be bothered with the hassle of sending it back. You live and learn.

90% of the time I have been useing pre for both recording and live. What do you guys prefer and why? Haven't mic'd my cab up for years now.

Even happens to the greats http://redhotchilipeppersfansite.tumblr.com/post/5572624904/flea-blister-rhcp-rehearsals

Yes, deffo get it looked at. Had my 600 about a year and a half and it never did anything like that. 4-5 hours of use and the air coming out would be as cool as when I first switched it on. I did have a shuttle that went and needed a valve changing.
